Serum cell death biomarkers for prediction of liver fibrosis and poor prognosis in primary biliary cirrhosis.

Serum cell death biomarkers for prediction of liver fibrosis and poor prognosis in primary biliary cirrhosis.

The development of simple, noninvasive markers of liver fibrosis is urgently needed for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). This study examined the ability of several serum biomarkers of cell death to estimate fibrosis and prognosis in PBC. A cohort of 130 patients with biopsy-proven PBC and 90 healthy...
